I think I would love to be in this school because some of my frends go there and I am a year 3 girl. I think i quite like this school. My brother Jordan is going to the school but he needs to get a place. I've got a place but I need to wait for him to get a place too.

Hi there.
I just live up Poplar Road and I'm Moving to this School. I also researched that It was founded In 1933. It survived World War 2. The evacuees might have liked this school. See U soon. Bye.

[Echelford School has only been in Park Road since 1973. During the war years the school was sited in the town centre, in the building where Clarendon School is today]

Wow! It's been 4 years since I last was in Echelford. The years have gone far too quickly. I really miss primary school. It's so easy and laid back compared to secondary school where it gets soo hard. Big shout outs to all the teachers who taught me xx

Thank u for all the things u have taught me at this school and good luck for next year.

I will miss Echelford so much! Primary school is like a chapter in your life and my experience at Echelford has made me want to read on. By that I mean that I am going to carry on the 'I will try my best' additude as I learnt to do in Echelford.
Thanks to Mr Wilson and all the teachers that have taught me.
Bye for now (I will be back!).

Yr 5 over!

How is everyone? Hope you're all enjoying the holidays. Big hello to Rhiannon Gilson, (have fun in Devon.)

Anyway, thank you to everyone who came!

We lost the football final today - booo hoo - but there's always next year! Ben kept us in it. Without him  it would have been not very nice. Just like to say well done to the lads and Mr Wilson for getting there. cool.

From Will Mason

P.S. They were the better  team.

This is a message to Mr Walker, Music Teacher.

Lydia and two other pupils went to the Percussion Parade at Westfield School, Woking last Sunday, 21st June. It was fab! They had such fun, playing along with the Ensemble. The performance by the SCPE (under the direction of Jackie Kendle) was outstanding and really inspired Lydia, who has decided she would like to study to play percussion instruments. There were pieces from various genres (to meet all tastes). I wish more Echelford pupils had attended. I would recommend these performances to both children and adults.

Thank you for suggesting we go along.

My last message was right at the end of March but now this message is the week before SATS! I hope everyone had a nice, long weekend like I did. Welll - apart from falling off a swing and getting covered in wood chips (plus banging my head and hip)...
No one should worry about the SATS because there are no SATS next year and it doesn't matter what mark you get! I think we're actually lucky to do our SATS because we learn + concentrate more.
From Clo

Hi, it's me again, Polly. So I just want to say Mr Wilson I am very cross with the fact that we have to clean out the pigs at Stone Farm. Are you coming to Stone Farm?

Hi, people of Echelford. Please dont say that there is a school better then Echelford, because it is the best the best school in the whole of Surrey. To Mr Wilson - you are the best head teacher in the whole wide world, so please dont leave Echelford any time soon. The thing with you, Mr Wilson, is that you are very nice, and that no one (well, if they dont get in trouble) should be scared of you. So bye P.S. Bye.

Hi everyone. Me and my dog Ted went for a walk at the Lookout. We had lots of fun with a picnic, a play in the playground and ice cream. My best friend Leoni came too. Today has been a sunny day at school and we had lots of fun in the playground .

It is a long time since I was a student at Echelford (I'm now 25) but I still have fond memories. Looking at your pictures of Gavston Hall and the Isle of Arran reminds me of the trips I had there. I am still good friends with Emma, who I remember meeting in Mrs Goode's reading class, and Jenny. The productions still look great as ever. I was in "Joseph" and "Trolls".

Hello Miss Matthews,

I made it to Australia in one piece. It is 30 degrees here with bright sunshine. I am really enjoying myself and have been to Noosaville today. The park there was fantastic. Our house is looking the South Pacific Ocean. Please say hello to all the children in Puffins and tell them that I miss them and will see them soon. I have been speaking to my Nannie via the webcam.

Lots of love,
Charlotte xxx

Hey Echelford

I am in OZ right now. Please can you pass this on to 5H. Out here it is 30 degrees at 8.21pm. Today we went to Noosaville. You should see the parks out here. They are the BEST. My house overlooks the South Pacific Ocean. Just getting over the jetlag. Will send a postcard soon.

Kate Digby 5HX

Everybody that sees this - u better read it coz it haz sum important stuff in it. All the parents who brought their children here in reception have made a good, good choice because, although some of your children may come home to you and u ask them how was school and they say "Oh well, I got a detention by Mrs. Meredith or Miss Miller." But that is because they have done something wrong, so dont go 'avin a go at the teachers lol x

Hi Miss Willis,
Thank you for teaching me. You're the best. From Freddie Fruin x and hi to all my class mates xx

Hi - it's great see how everyone is doing. I hope to come and visit sometime soon, I'm looking forward to seeing My Fair Lady. Missing the Echelford gang, but having a great time at Sunbury Manor. Best wishes, Sally Hattan xxxx

Hi everyone that is reading this. Echelford is a great school. You are lucky if you come to Echelford. The teachers are great. I am in year 6 and I really don't want 2 leave Echelford, but trust me, I will be back sometime. Just a little thing - if u ever get the chance 2 go 2 a school trip, go. They are the best. When you r in year 6 try to live it because u wont get the chance again. Love Leonie Chaffey xxx

Hi Echelford!
I just can't wait to go on the school trip to the Isle Of Arran! The Year 6's are doing our mock SATS. We did our mock mock SATS before Christmas and we have all nearlly finished the ones we're doing now! I just hope that everyone is happy with whichever trip they're going to and even if you're not going on either, I'm sure the teachers will be nice!
Just saying hi to 6C, especially Mrs Meredith, Katie Arbon, Jenna Wiles and Vanessa McDowell (6T)

Hiya xxx

Bye bye Miss Stevens (tall one)
I will miss you. You were a teacher I loved.

Bye bye xx

Hello Echelford, People who are looking at this site reading these comments right now, can I give you some advice? Please bring your children to Echelford Primary School because it is the best school you could ever go to. I think we have over 600 + pupils at our school and it's the best school I've ever been to. I'm in year 6 but I don't want to leave to year 7 because I'm going to miss all the bright colours, the big school, all my friends, all my teachers especially one special one! Mr. Wilson, our head teacher, he's the best head master I could thinnk of. He's funny at times. He is just the perfect head master and im proud of it! Thank you Mr Wilson for being the best head teacher for 35 years I think or 25. I'm not sure but keep it up because I'll be coming back when I'm in my work experience and I want to see you. : ) from Nicole

I was at Echelford 4 years ago, but I still remember it! I'm hoping to do work experience there, which would be weird acting like a teacher at a place where I was once a student. I played Charlie in Charlie & the Chocolate factory and I think Mrs Stevens still has the pictures... MRS STEVENS WAS THE BEST TEACHER EVER!
And also, I love Echelford (:
xxx

Ahh Echelford
I left in 2003 and am now at Brooklands College, Weybridge.
I am studying a BTEC in Performing Arts as I want to be an actor. My ambition to become an actor all started at Echelford when appearing in the school shows.
I would come back and visit but am too busy with college etc :(

Alex

Thank you Mrs Stevens for a great party. Have a great Christmas xxx

Hello. I love Echelford. It is great. Mrs Stevens is the best.

I'm in year 8 now and it seems so unbeliveable looking back at this website.. I'm currently at Matthew Arnold. It's a great school but not as good as Echelford. Everyone needs to at least spend a day at Echelford. Lovee this school loads.. Big hello to anyone who was in my year and all the teachers!! =]

One person dislocated his knee. Yuck!!!!!!! There have been lots of fights . I like French, RS and all the other lessons. My best teacher is probabley my art teacher. She always gives me merits ( like house points). I have 2 certificates, one for gaining more than 20 merits and one for excellent work in art. I like the chapel and the swimming pool. On the 5th of November I am going to Greenwich to the David Beckham Academy. I can't wait.

Hi
I used to go to Echelford 6 years ago.

I am now training to be an officer in the Royal Navy, at Welbeck, The Defence Sixth Form College

This shows how brilliant Echelford was for me, giving me the confidence to do all this and teaching me well to achieve good SATs and eventually GCSE results. All you guys at Echelford are lucky

Dont waste it!

In year 6 the teachers teach you everything to help prepare you for the S.A.T.S. [good luck with the S.A.T.S when you get to year 6. Dont worry do your best they are not as bad as you think!] We will miss you Echelford and best wishes to all the pupils and staff. I am sure we will re-unite one day!!!!! lol

I was a pupil at Echelford from 1969 - 1972 and had a great time and made lots of friends. I have loving memories and affection for the school and still cherish the time I spent there. A lot of the things I needed for education I learnt there and it gave me a good start. Lol I still remember Mrs Dukes my class tutor, Mr Garage the music teacher, Mr Thwaite the headmaster, Mr Reed, Mr Hill, Mr Bently ,wow I can still remember their names. May God bless the school and the children who study there.

Thank you to Mr Wilson and all the teachers involved in the Gaveston hall trip and taking care of Olivia who was very worried about going but enjoyed it .

Hi guys,
Miss Miller is the best teacher ever( I'm not meaning to start a RIOT but She's the best teacher I've ever had.) Man, I'm so excited. I have got my first cricket match for Echelford on Wednesday.

I just wanted to say how much we enjoyed "Mary Poppins". What a great production that was! Many thanks to everyone involved both on stage and behind the scenes. One of the things I like most about Echelford School is the staff's clear intention to develop our kids in a variety of ways....not just to improve their academic performance. Thanks also all you parents and PTFA members who work so hard to assist the school in meeting its objectives. I'm too lazy or too busy to do so myself!

Hello Echelford.

Hope All Is Well . Missing everyone so much, especially Mrs Stevens. Wish I could come back. Christmas wasn't the same at Matthew Arnold - it was really boring. I wish I was at Echelford with all of you. Hope to see you soon.

Love Connie

P.S - I will come and visit

Luv

I just found the site and it brings back a lot of fantastic memories I have of Echelford. My time at Echelford ranks as of one of my most enjoyable experiences. The school productions were "FAB" (excuse the pun) and every schooltrip was truly memorable. I am currently living in Dublin studying Law at Trinity College Dublin. Please send my regards to the teachers of 96-99. Especially Mr Wilson, Mrs Sawyer, Mrs Cribb and Mr Bruce.

Robert

Hi ! I think that Echelford school is the best school out of Ashford. The lessons are quite fun and the productions are cool. The productions I remember seeing Hoodwinked and Charlie in the Chocolate Factory. I was in Peter Pan. I was a indian ! lol ! It was quite fun.
I am going to miss EVERYONE (LISTEN TEACHERS) and I mean everyone for when we leave. If your looking for a primary school in Ashford, pick Echelford.
The school trips are excelant. I have just went to stone farm but it was a bit smelly and a bit mucky. Apart from that it was really fun. So really listen to what I have said.
Yours Trully,
Katie Webster Age 10 class 5C.

Heyy, Omg... I miss echelford soo much!:-(
Im sitting in my secondary school now... I left Sunbury Manor! lol

Hey I came here about over a year ago now. I was a grandma in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory! I was in Miss Miller's class. She was the best! But so were Mr Hone, Miss Mylordus and Mr Bloomfeild!

Hi guys.
Echelford was my primary school and what can I say I couldn't get enough so I came back to haunt a few of you by carrying out a 3 month placement.
Just a big thank you to everyone at Echelford for making my time so enjoyable.
And who knows in the next couple of years I might come back to do my teacher training, If you'll have me that is.

Hope to see you all soon

Thanks again

Stephanie Silk (or as Mr Wilson used to call me Stephanie Cotton)

Hi to everyone at Echelford - Renee Edwards here, I taught Year 4 in 2004, so I guess all the children in my class have moved onto high school by now! I am back in Australia teaching Reception this year - it's a lot different to Year 4! I think about your school often and all the fun times I had while I was teaching there. Hi to everyone and all the staff, hope you are all well!

If you want to see the production photos of Peter Pan on this site click on Archives, then click on 'Recent Events' and then on Peter Pan. Hope it brings back lots of memories. You all did fantastically and all the Production Team are very proud of you. Love from Mrs. Shirvill

To everyone at Echelford!
Thank you to everyone who I worked with the week before I started my teaching degree. Well Im now on my second term in and well to be honest it is scary at times! I have already done a two week placement in a small school, complete contrast to working with you guys! Have thought about packing it in a couple of times but then I remember the kind words of encouragement that you gave me whilst I was there and so I battle on through it all! Thank you so so much and I hope to see you all soon!

Thank you for having me at Echelford School. Thank you Mr Todd for being so fun and other teachers thank you. I miss all my teachers and m8tes so thank you for having me. Sophie

Hello Its Connie I cant wait to go to Isle Of Arran it should be really fun because Mrs Stevens and her daughter Gemma are coming. Echelford is the greatest school ever and I never want to leave. My Teacher is the best - Mrs Stevens. Anyway Better Be Off

MISS YOU ALLLLLLLLL.........

Hey, Echelford! Missing you all loads, especially Miss Miller. I am enjoying Sunbury Manor but I really wish I could go back to Echelford. iIam going to visit really soon after Xmas. Really missing my old m8ts . Once again MISSING YOU !!

Hi Echelford!!!!! I wish I was back at Echelford!!!!! he football team was good, unlike at my new school. Im now at Thamesmead and in year 8. I wish I was back at Echelford. It was such a great school. Well, all good things in life end.

Hi everybody!
I used to go to this school but I left at the end of year 3 to move to Newcastle.
I am in year 9 now and I looked through the staff list and the only teacher I remember was Mrs McAllister. She taught me in year 2 (1999) so hello to her. I hope you remember me!

I love Echelford and can't wait till I am a prefect. Echelford is the best school ever and when I move to secondary school I will really miss this school and especially my fav. teacher, Miss Rushforth.

This school is the best in the world and being in year 6 I am very happy and can't wait till I'm a prefect.

Hello!

My God, a friend of mine sent me the link to the web site. It's good to see my old school. It brings back many thoughts. I think its been 16 years? maybe since I left. I am in the Roytay Air Force now as a flight ops assistant. All is well and I love my job. I got back from Iraq last April after working there for 4 months. It was interesting. Need I say more? Anyway, keep up the good work.

John

I was just browsing on my computer when I came across this wonderful website. Brought back such happy memories. I was a pupil at echelford in (ooooh) early 80's and loved every minute of it! Was a wonderful school to be apart of have such fun memories of fundraising, school trips(st marys Bay in kent where me and my family now live just down the road from) , discos and who can forget the wonderful school plays. I was in the production of Oliver and a brilliant play we put on about children being evacuated to the country during the war. Happy days, and nice to see that things remain the same. A big hello and thank you to Mr Wilson and all the teachers then that made me look forward to school everyday!!

Wow. What a school. I have just spent 2 weeks work experience here. I was a former pupil and it hasn't changed a bit. Spent my two weeks in Mr Hone class. Was BRILLIANT!!! thanks Echelford for accepting me into the school, and thanks Mr Hone and all of his class for being brilliant throughout the two weeks.

Hey Echelford, I'm disappointed as i've tried to add about 3 comments on here before and it doesn't seem 2 work. Oh well hope this one does.
I'm almost in year 8 at the Ash Technolgy college. It's great there i love it!
But i miss Echelford lots, all the teachers and my friends were the best!
Big Hey to my Favourite teacher Mr Todd cos he was funny, thankyou to all the teachers at Echelford. I'll be at the summer fayre tomorrow, can't wait to see you and catch up with friends!
Love, Lucy Thurlow Xx

The school prodution 05 was 1 of the best i have seen. Well done to the cast and choir.

I think that all the staff and teachers are really kind and helpful, it is a very good, kind school.

MY COUSIN ALEX MILLER GOES TO THIS SCHOOL AND I COME AND WATCH YOUR PRODUCTIONS AND I LOVE THEM!!

When I first started echelford in September 2004 I didn't know what to expect. Mr.todd my teacher is really funny especially with his acsents!

I cant believe its nearly 3 years since I left Echelford!! My brother is still at the school and always comes home with exciting news - which I don't mind but always makes me wish that I could come back! The school I am at now is no where near as good as Echelford, and Mr.Wilson was a great Head Teacher and still is!! I will never forget the fun I had at Echelford!

Hello everyone, I'm just sat at the computer during my free period at college with a group of friends. We all used to go to Echelford and agree that it was (and sure it still is) a great school. We're all off the University next year! Im doing a BA in Primary Education and believe that the main reason that I want to be a Primary Teacher is because of the great role models I had at Echelford. We all thankyou for the strong foundation you gave us all and hope the school every success in the future.

I left the school ages ago but it was great and Mr Todd was really funny!

Loving the website!!

Hello Echelford!!! This is Rachel who came to the school and left in year 4. I had Mr todd. he was a good laugh!! I miss the school and everyone there so much! I loved hoodwinked Matthew Rogers was brill! See u guys soon i hope!

I was made up when I found it I am just in sociology at rainhill high school. hope that the fabulous school productions are still going ahead even with out me lol. was really proud of mr. wilson and mr.grimwood when my grandad mick gave me the news paper with their pictures in it nearly cried. hope to get in touch soon lucy south

i played against the girls football team we won 2-0 but just to say it was really good fun playing against you and if we meat you again i hope we have as much fun then.

This site really does bring back a lot of memories! Good to see that the school is still putting on plays - I remember how much fun I had acting in 'Trolls' and 'Smike'. Thanks to teachers such as Dave Bruce, Shirley Tibbits, and Mr Wilson, who inspired me between 1992-95.

Hehehehehe its really funny to see all of the teachers on the website! Echelford rocked and so did all of the plays i was in. I was the 'STAR'!

My time at Echelford is quiet good. I am looking forward to being a PREFECT in year 6 because my brother was a runner for the office. And when I go into year 6 i hope i will be a runner for the school office too. When I go into secondary school I will miss all my friends and all of the staff at Echelford. Mainly all of my friends are going to the local school's but Im am not.

My Fravorite lessons in year 5 are: - Litracy, art, scence!

I Really Enjoyed The Tudor Ball It Was Fab. I Had To Dance With A girl called Elenn Clayton Palmer.

I will have a really good Time In The Rest Of Year 5.And when I have ICT lessons about Elizabeth the first it was good because all of the class had to go on the internet and me and my partner finished first!

Hi its Roxanne and Amanda we went to Echelford 2 years ago and liked most of it.
Amanda misses Mr Todd its funny cos her tutor now is called Mrs Todd anyway we'd better go! its a good school, go there!

I came to Echelford last year and my teacher (Mr Grimwood) was very fun . I wish i came when I started school!

Hi everyone at Echelford, I used to go and left in Year 6 (2001) and moved to Wales. It was a brilliant school and I hope it still is!
From Dave

Hello Everyone at Echelford!! Just to say the website rocks. Hello to all now Im currently starting year 10 in September at Ash Technology College! Hello to Mr.Wilson ( Im now a professional football player with Brentford fc)
Mr.Todd the coolest teacher in the school. hope to see you guys soon Michael!!

Hampshire was GREAT!!! but on the last day i fell off the bunkbed and broke my arm oh well!

Echelford School is the greatest school ever. I am in Mrs Walters class she is a great teacher!!!!

What a great website!

I went to Legoland and it was really cool! I loved the pictures from the trip BUT THERE WAS NONE OF ME! Anyway this site is really cool and i come here alot SimonX P.S:-I cant wait to go into the juniors IT WILL BE FUN!!!!!!!

I had my induction day at The Ash Technology College today I will miss Echelford especially MY FAVOURITE TEACHER MRS HERSHELL AND ALL MY FRIENDS THAT WENT TO SUNBURY MANOR AND BISHOP WAND.

Browsing the web for my uni course and came across this website. My children Sarah and Sean Penycate (now 21 and 18!) were pupils at the school. We have very fond memories of Echelford particularly the school productions, Trolls, Joseph and Smike to name just a few. Keep up the good work.

I cant wait to go to Hampshire in a week it will be great and the photos from the Isle of Arron are really cool

I had a great time at the Isle of Arran last week. I enjoyed it. It was fab. I recommend it highly.
I like this school

I went to the Isle of Arran this year. It was an excellent trip. The tutors were brilliant. I really recommend it to the next year 6's. On Monday we did the gorge walking. That was 100x brill.

If you get the chance to go to the Isle of Arran, go for it! You won't forget it. Its amazing. You'll never get a chance to go somewhere like that again. It's a fab school! and a great opportunity.

My 4 children went to Echelford from 1976 to 1986 and 2 of my grandchildren are now pupils - one in yr 6 and one in yr 3. All of them have been very happy with you and some of the teachers are still there (some have married and changed their names) but still remember my children!!! Keep up the good work with Mr Wilson as the head - (he hasn't changed one bit!). Best school in Ashford and surrounding 10 mile area.

Seems years since I was at Echelford but I loved it. Miss Stevens was my favourite teacher. Love Sunbury Manor too but leaving there next year. My little brother Luke has just come back from Stone Farm and had a wicked time.

PTFA member, loved the website, great source of information.

The school is really good ,and the staff are excellent

Mr Wilson, you have done it again. You, your staff and all the children that were in the recent Hoodwinked have once again put on a marvellous spectacle, a colourful, talented and exciting play. Whils I am slightly biased as my niece Zoe was playing Maid Marion, I thought the efforts of all the lead characters were superb. You really have some future stars in the school.
Best of luck for the rest of term.

This is the first time I have been on this website and its GREAT! Thank-you Mr Wilson for the lighting in hoodwinked.

Echelford was such a great school and I really miss it there. Especially all the friends I made. Hi to my favorite teacher too, Mrs Herschell. And Mr Wilson. You are the best headmaster!

This website is a little pocket of nostalgia - I'd forgotten about the house teams. I was in Centaur and very proud to be too! I'm very glad the school is still flourishing. Nearly ten years have passed since I left Echelford and I really do have some very fond memories. I find myself singing the songs from assembly and I love driving past Guildford Cathedral, it awakens the dusty passages of my memory and I'm a young girl in knee high socks attempting to sing in tune to the thwack of Miss Irwin's baton on the music stand! My passion for furry creatures began with Mrs Cribb and the rabbit shed. I'm sure my mum doesn't thank you for that, we ended up with 52 bunnies at one point! All too often, the education system is the recipient of criticism so I'd like to say thank you to all those teachers whose advice I still use today, Miss Irwin who was just wonderful, Shirley Tibbits whose voluptuous handwriting I still aspire too, Dave Bruce, Mrs. Hershcell (aerobics - the song Angelo) Miss White, Mr. Wilson who taught me to swim and to all the others whose names I have forgotten. Thank you!

My days at Echelford were the happiest of my life and I will never ever forget a day I spent there! I miss the school alot especially Mr Wilson who helped me through my days at the school! Love u Echelford! xxx

My boys will be joining Echelford in Sept 04. This has been a lovelty insite into a school I knew very little about, I am glad I have made the choice to send my children here, I hope they enjoy themselves half as much as the pupils there at present. Keep up the good effort.

A super web-site and a super school - keep up the good work.

Missing you all at Echelford! Hi to Mrs Stevens, Mr Todd, Mr Wilson! Hi to all my old mates Hayley, Levi, Josie, Kayleigh, Sophia, Hannah, Emma, Jerusha and everyone else at Echelford!

Missing u Echelford! Ashford High is great! Hello to Mr Todd and Mrs Stevens and the guinea pigs

Hi to everyone! I used to go to Echelford it was great! Hi to my favourite teacher Mr Todd & hi to all my old friends i miss u echelford ! X

Very good webiste, love the design. Well done to all involved.

Hello. We had a great time at Echelford and Happy New Year to everyone!

Excellent Website, I will certainly look here first if I want to know something in the future. Very useful for me as I often lose the bits of paper that are sent home with the children! Well done.

Stone Farm was excellent!!!
We go to Echelford and our school website is fantastic.

Im now in Year 9 at Sunbury Manor and I used to go to Echelford, Great school!!
Hello to the teachers at Echelford especially Mr Todd!! See you all again sometime at the school events.

Fantastic website - this is the first time i have logged onto it and i am very impressed - it will definitely go on my favourites list. It was great to see the photos from the nativity [Gemma Rose was a sheep!], but it would also have been great to have seen the reception children on there too. Well done to all!!

Hi Echelford. I used to come here, it was the best. I had loads of freinds but I lost contaced with some when I moved up to Sunbury Manor and I miss you all.

I used to go Echelford and I had a great time there! If I had the choice I would go back any day!

I really loved Gaveston Hall, because I spent a week of fun and activities and learnt new things!

Having finally got round to checking out this very good school web-site, and better late than never, I should like to say how very much I enjoyed the production of "Oliver". It took me back to the very first production I was involved in when I first began teaching at Echelford. I am so pleased that the school is able to continue to put on these productions. They were certainly one of the highlights of my years at the school. We, that is the staff and the children, had such fun doing them although it was extremely hard work ! You are fortunate in having the staff to be able to carry on the tradition which we started. Hello to all those pupils who remember being involved when I, Dave Bruce, Frances Irwin, Sue Sawyer, Ellen Marshall "et al" were there.

We are moving into the area and have had a lot of encouragement and support from Mr Wilson for our 4yr old daughter to start reception class. thank you. p.s by far the best school web site we have looked at! ( we've seen a lot!!)

Hi Echelford,
We are missing you already!
We were sad to leave and will come back and visit!
all our love
Kathryn and Alexandra x
p.s. Hi to our favourite teacher Mr Todd

The office has been really good to me as I am a runner and help them do jobs. Thank's Miss McNamara, Mrs Ford, Mrs Jones & Mrs Finch.

Also good luck for those who are leaving Mrs Farrar & Miss Downer.

Thanks Echelford School!

this years production of oliver was really fun to be in thanks to all the teachers who made it possible to have a production.

Going to Echelford was one of the best times of my life and thanks to these teachers who made it even better: Mr Hone, Mr Todd, Mrs Coogan and Mrs Stevens.

Hello everyone, Echelford was great and i miss all my old teachers and friends. The Arran trip 2years ago was excellent and really really funny especially when Sameer Sagoo fell in the bog!!

To everyone involved in this year's production "Oliver" - IT WAS FANTASTIC. Well done, you looked and sounded great I can't wait add the video to my growing collection of Echelford hits.

I have really enjoyed my time at Echelford School & will be sad to leave in July although I am excited to be starting Secondary School in September. Thanks to all the teachers for making my time at school a happy one.

Isle of Arran was the greatest week ever. Thank you every one that was involved.
It rocked!!!!!!!!!

I go to Echelford and I really enjoyed the school trip to The Isle Of Arran.

I enjoyed looking at your site. I am a teacher in the United States and I am impressed by all the neat things you do in your school. Have a great summer!

It's great to see the photos of the Isle of Aran trip - especially so quickly. My mum (Mrs Barlow) even got in one! I wish I could have gone to Scotland when I was at Echelford. Best wishes from the USA to everyone at the school.

Isle of Arran was great. I enjoyed jumping into the bogs and jumping off a 20ft cliff into the river. Cheers Mr Bruce for coming back to Echelford to go to Arran and also to Mr Wilson, Mrs Hershell, Mrs Stevens and Mrs Barlow for looking after us all.

P.S Cheers Mr Bruce for coming back to Echelford to go to arran

This Arran trip has been one of the best weeks of my life . Thankyou,Mr. Bruce, you have been an amazing leader of this trip.

Many thanks for keeping us so up to date with news from the Isle of Arran. I'm still waiting to see my son Tim's photo from Bonnie Scotland (Mr Bruce, try and get him to stay still enough to be able to download his face to us in Ashford, at least I'll know where he is for once!!!). Well done for the informative and amusing photos/captions. We have really enjoyed them. They are a credit to you.

i would like to say hello to all the teachers who had to put up with me over the 6 years i was there.
i was looking at the website and i am very impressed with it it's much better than our schools one.
i hope all the people who are in or went to scotland are having as much fun there as i did but i must say the walking was a bit of a struggle.
well i hope all the teachers are still as nice as i remember and i only wish you were in my school.
well thats all i have to say so buy for now emma
p.s maybe i'll come to visit one day when i'm off and having a break from my course work
